Anspaugh recalled the filming of the scene in the locker room after the first home game: “We were running out of time, and we decided on a simple, low-angle shot… I liked it when I saw the dailies and didn’t think much about it after that. But, since then, film professors have congratulated me on that shot, saying it’s just ‘genius.’ I wish I could take credit for that! But, it was just that we ran out of time, and that’s what we settled for.”
